Beyond the cosmos of the known galaxies
In the universe we call home
Lies the miracle by the hands of God
In the gift he gives to all
We feel this in every breath we take
From the treasure we call life
We see this in every vista
As the sun moves across the sky
From the glorious splendor of his love
He grants to each of us
Only foreshadows what's in store
To those who truly believe
In the world he created
By his everlasting love
Bought by the death of his begotten son
So our hearts could be cleansed of sin
Thus bestowing the miracle of salvation
Which awaits his flock, beyond the waning stars?
Where the heavenly Father and the Son
Will rule upon their throne
To reign the unimaginable, forever
In a palace we pray will be our home
Is all we can ask for, all we can imagine?
Surrounded by his glory, in his kingdom forevermore

Within the shadow of the years
Looms the memories of all my fears
Which come in the dreams I have each night?
Leaving me unable to resist the futile attempts to slight
As I fall into the circle of unrelenting love
I hope of finding a way to convey an impression of
The many battles inflected, in the indifference of a cause
Culminating in what was won and lost, in a whirlwind of applause
So in the fantasies we have shared, we'll adjust for separate ways
Which will lead to a new horizon as we leave our yesterdays?
In this parting thought, I will entrust before I go
I ask for your forgiveness for the feelings I could not show
And if you have within you a moment to reflect
Remember all we totaled in the time we did connect
For this shall live beyond us in the blood line we did create
Our daughters will always love us, no matter what the fate
As we come to an end of a spiral, we'll say our final goodbyes
Turning towards a new beginning, in the windmill of our minds
